Where their roots born
Ancestors' cherished land
Their identities shifting
Became foreign hearts.

Fleeing in the dead of night,
fleeting form, out of sight.
Shifting mist of hider's delight,
day is coming, death is bright.

Eternal now
Light fades
To darkness
Collapsing structures
Shifting dimensions
Poltergeists have
Tantrums in
The Ether

Side out of light
What you see
Within your mind
Shifting the painting
For your sight

These tears that keep on flowing
These thoughts that keep on shifting
For what I thought was perfect
For you I dreamt eternity

Colors of the rainbow glow,
In shades of diversity;
Light brings changing, shifting hues;
To sky’s family.

Countless ages past,
On this beach of shifting sand
Great mountains once stood.
I can barely remember
The reasons for our parting.

This text is silly?
I think your mind is chilly...
Read between the lines,
It's less about making rhymes
Than it's shifting paradigms

Georgy ran as Georgy can
Across the hot white shifting sand,
His hot foot shuffle
Caused such a kerfuffle,
Kicking sand up as he ran.

In the shifting air
the sweet scent of candy corn
candle wax burning
All doors are open
an ancient mystery lives
I bask in its glow

Rain falling around—
Put all my feelings down; hit
By the crowd, shifting
Air for power—but clearer
Then I stall for the hour.

Tides move in as one--
bowing upright azure tongues,
marching from the sun.
Pallets lick the shifting sand,
slowly move the plastic land.

If hope is the thing with feathers
That floats on the wind
Your strength is the iron
bound in roots of an oak
gripped in sand’s shifting whim

we’ve pushed and pulled for far too long
let us now take all souls along
shifting fulcrum from head to heart
synced with love and the cosmic gong

Shifting into tomorrow,
today passing through the exhaust
The RPM’s marking time and space
—direction all but lost

It’s changing again.
The world is shifting.
Twisting around new centres.
Both fixed and moving.
Worlds overlap.
Lives intertwine.
And I watch.
Alone.

My feelings are a house of cards,
My will is the glue,
Without the will of wisdom,
They would be toppled by you.
Where, pray tell .. is my wisdom?

Although the word is not the thing ~
It triggers a memory string
Shifting from thinking to feeling ~
We reclaim bliss beats appealing

Winter coats proliferate,
the earth is stilled by snowflakes
slowly drifting, swirling, shifting,
sifting down, a whirling,
curling cloud of white confetti.

clouds shifting--
the moon dancing on puddles
in syncopation
the whiz and ping of bullets
that he can no longer hear
